2. Restrictions on Transfer. The shares of Restricted Stock may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Grantee unless and until they have become nonrestricted and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that Grantee’s interest in the shares of Restricted Stock may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the shares of Restricted Stock that is in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the shares of Restricted Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) above, all shares of Restricted Stock shall become immediately nonrestricted and nonforfeitable if Grantee’s service on the Board terminates because Grantee becomes permanently disabled (as determined by the Board) or dies.

4. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock.

(a) Any of the shares of Restricted Stock that remain forfeitable in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be forfeited if Grantee’s service on the Board ceases for any reason other than Grantee’s permanent disability (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) or death prior to such shares becoming nonforfeitable.
